HOW MUCH DOES VEHICLE RECOVERY COST?
The cost depends on the size and type of vehicle that is being recovered. For more complex recoveries (HGVs, multi-passenger coach or buses etc) and the complexity of the recovery you can expect to pay a minimum of £100 for the initial winching setup plus £100 to £250 per hour depending on the required equipment and the number of operators involved.
Generally in most areas of the UK, you should expect to pay between £150 to £200 for emergency vehicle recovery. Although, single operators that only deal with local car recovery may charge less.
